Sebi had initiated an investigation into trades carried out in RPL scrip between November 1-29, 2007 to identify possible violation under various regulations, including Securities and Exchange Board of India (Prohibition of Fraudulent and Unfair Trade Practices relating to Securities Market) Regulations 2003, Minister of State for Finance Namo Narain Meena informed the Lok Sabha.
